Fitgers Breakwater White

On draught during Great Taste of Midwest 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy golden straw colored brew with a fast dissolving white head. Aroma of coriander, golden grain malt, some white pepper and clove. Taste is light to medium bodied, flavors of golden grain malt with coriander and some mild spice and lemon zest. Finish is semi-sweet with a nice coriander and wheat malt aftertaste that slowly disappears.

It has the basic flavor profile, but there are better Wits. While at Fitgers, there are better offerings as well.

ABR 2008. Aroma is of orange, spices, and wheat. Flavor is sort of bland, a light sweetness, something there I wasn’t crazy about.

ABR 2007. hazy white color. Wheat on the nose and similar flavor with a faint spice to it. A little sweet.

Draft at the Brewhouse. Any domestic brewing of a Belgian Wit is much appreciated; but I found this one over-floral. The finish is very bold, too much for me. Ultimately I found this very cloying and tough to drink in more than small doses.

Spicy, pepper, coriander aroma--very strong. Lemon, lemongrass flavors, very fresh in flavors. Bitter finish. Not so lively but still good. Hazy yellow color. (on tap at brewpub)

A terrible beer. It does have a good aroma with butter and cloves, like a wit should. Yellow in color. The flavor makes this undrinkable, with Lysol and citrus and chemicals. Undrinkable.

Hazy gold color with a thick head. Powerful orange aroma. It kind of goes downhill from here... the strong orange stays in the flavor and pairs well with coriander and a lot of wheat, but there is an incredible blast of Lysol and cleaner in this beer. The more I drink, the worse it gets. Infection?
